Definition
The Screening/Surveillance Colonoscopy cost measure evaluates clinicians' risk-adjusted cost to Medicare for beneficiaries who receive this procedure. The cost measure score is a clinician's average risk-adjusted cost for the episode group averaged across all episodes attributed to the clinician. This procedural measure includes costs of services that are clinically related to the attributed clinician's role in managing care from the day of the clinical event that opens or 'triggers' the episode, through 14 days after the trigger. Beneficiary populations eligible for the Screening/Surveillance Colonoscopy measure include Medicare beneficiaries enrolled in Medicare Parts A and B during the performance period.
